Mr Gum and the Goblins (13 page)

Hello. Andy Stanton here, announcing the winner of the world famous âMake Up An Insult For Mr Gum To Say' Competition. Catchy title, huh? Well, no, but anyway, the winner is . . .
Maya Lingam!
Well done, Miss Lingam!

You can see Mr Gum saying the winning phrase in Chapter 9, but in the meantime here are some facts about Maya herself. They are all true, except for one which I made up. See if you can spot the imposter:

1
Maya was born in 1997!

2
Maya's favourite colour is purple!

3
Maya doesn't like onions!

4
Maya's favourite Mr Gum character is Monsieur Bellybutton!

5
Maya can change into any sort of animal just by thinking about it!

BYE!

Andy Stanton

Yes, that's right, number 3 is a lie. Maya DOES like onions.
